Do they, now? All of my experiences with the Reddit search bar were a waste of time, this search bar is an absolute piece of trash. It’s completely useless. I have always gotten immensely superior result searching Reddit from an outside search engine than using the built-in one. It’s that bad. So, good luck to them, I guess…

Confirmed: not even Greedy Pigboy uses that fucking shithole. If he did, he would know that Reddit search sucks major balls, and that it would take a lot of money to fix it.
And this would also taunt Reddit’s effective suzerain Google/Alphabet. Whose core monopoly is… well, search. Probably finding ways to wreck with Reddit.

They will integrate AI and it will be terrible.

Both sides are doing it. Except Google has enough resources to make it slightly less terrible.
